His Touch of Genius
 So who hasn't heard of Neil Gaiman yet? Apparently, a few haven't. Lend me your ears (in this case, preferably your eyes) and read about the wonderful man that is Neil Gaiman. Neil Gaiman is a best-selling English author of science fiction and fantasy novels, short stories, movies, and comic books. He's 46 years old (and still in need for a good haircut) with three lovely daughters. He lives near Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S. with his wife, Mary T. McGarth. At his younger years, he grew up reading the works of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Michael Moorcock, Ursula K. Le Guin, and G.K. Chesterton where he was inspired to write based on the genre of fantasy. In the early 1980s, Gaiman pursued journalism, conducting interviews and writing about book reviews, as a means to learn about the world and make connections that he hoped would later assist him in getting published. He is a man of imagination. He doesn't fear what others might think of his works and he dares to write what is on his mind on paper. He has crossed the boundaries of average imagination to another different kind of level. His books can be considered as legendary and worthy of all its attention and genius. His distinctive storytelling has been acclaimed writers as diverse as Norman Mailer and Stephen King. He has written a lot of books for readers of all ages as well as comic books that are well up to par. He is listed in the Dictionary of Literary Biography as one of the top ten living post-modern writers, and is a prolific creator of works of prose, poetry, film, journalism, comics, song lyrics, and drama. A few of his works include the one of the most talked about books of the new millenium, American Gods, which has been well received by critics. It has also been awarded a few well-known awards such as Hugo Award for Best SF/Fantasy Novel, Nebula Award for Best Novel, and etc. Neverwhere and Coraline are another set of well received novels that has gotten good reviews and are considered as masterful debut novels of darkly hypnotic power. In all of his stories, he displays a different sense of writing, wit, and insight that has an original flare on all of his works that has made him one of the most unique literary artists of our day.
